I am human and not a doctor or health practitioner. However, I have used this product many times and I can still write, walk, breath, etc. LOL. Melly

The company asserts that the product is veterinary grade, which is equal to or greater than the human grade in health food stores, in terms of purity, but is INTENDED for animals.

It is meant for animals. I took a chance being that it was pure MSM. It is different from the product produced for humans. Since buying this I read on Mercola.com that it is manufactured in 2 different ways and one is better than the other. This is a lot cheaper so I imagine it's not the best for human use. (Seems like I always find out things after the fact). However I am still using it - but just wanted to make you aware. There is a definite difference between this product and what I purchased for human use from the health food store.

We have been using this product ourselves (humans) for years and it is every bit as good as the expensive stuff we used to buy that is advertised for people. 99.9% pure MSM - what else does one want?

MSM supplements are not naturally-occurring food-form MSM but artificially synthesized organic (carbon-based) fossilized plant/animal petrochemicals. (Older method "lignisol" from papermaking wood lignan pulp byproduct's no longer used, but OxygenAmerica sells pine lignan organic "OxySulfur" another Amazon reviewer prefers.) If it doesn't say OptiMSM, it's not the best MSM supplement distilled 99.99% pure mostly USA/sometimes high-standard Japan sourced. Food-form MSM is in grassfed animal proteins & rainwatered not irrigated or hothouse crops. ~ Blessings

This is for horses. I am not sure if it can be used for humans. I believe this product is 99.9 %pure MSM. I have heard of humans using this but check with your doctor first! It definitely helps my horses with arthritis.

Been using it for awhile....know people using it for over 15 yrs.....believe it is much better than powder for humans.....and cheaper.....

Good question. It does not say in the ingredients what the source of the MSM is. Perhaps by contacting the company directly, you can get the answer.

Yes it is! This product is not tested on animals. All ingredients are safe for people and animals.

Even this product is for veterinary use, but it also good for human too. In my own experience, it works better than the other similar liniments for human use.

it is used for both anaimals and people. There is only ONE MSM..google this.. msm, animals and people. You will see what I mean:-)

Lots of chemicals, but no animal products as far as I can tell. I don't know why they would test the product on non-human animals, but the company is in Cincinnati, Ohio, so you could call them.

I don't know. I don't use this product anymore because Arm & Hammer tests on animals :( I use World's Best now and it smells better.

You are so correct. I realised it after I bought it. In fact, most of the ingredients in it are nothing but junk. You have no idea how pissed I was that deceptive labeling trying to push chemicals and preservation. I did some research and found a website www.onlynaturalpet.com. customer service 888-937-6677. They sell a product called Only Natural Super Daily Canine multi-vitamins item #999010. 270 tablets for $31.99.This is why in cases like these I'm very suspicious and cautious of anything that's made in the USA. One must really research...Its great to see that other people are becoming aware of deceptive labeling not just for our pets but for our food also. I hope this info helps. You are so correct.

MSM supplements now are artificially synthesized organic (carbon-based) fossilized plant/animal petrochemicals, the purest available in many brands but I don't see on this one is OptiMSM distilled 99.99% pure USA/sometimes high-standard Japan sourced. Food-form MSM is in grassfed animal proteins & rainwatered not irrigated or hothouse crops. ~ Blessings

No. It is derived from ocean plankton. When looking for the best quality MSM, look for MSM that has been processed through a distillation process, rather than a crystallization process. Also, look for the brand that has pure OptiMSM.

After reviewing all of the information on the box and in the additional paper insert I could locate nothing to indicate this product is NOT tested on animals. So, the short answer is I do not know if they test on animals but it is manufactured in Japan and they seem pretty conscientious and progressively minded so I would highly doubt it. Hope this helps. ;)

Ugh! Sadly it contains stupid additives like gelatin and magnesium stearate. The latter is a machine cleaning agent they mix in there that is "harmless" in small amounts of humans. No thanks as far as the additives! As far as the gelatin, it is usually bovine derived. Meaning it is made from the tissue of dead animals. Kinda gross, vegan or no vegan.

I'm sorry. That info is not on the bottle. They are from a co. in VT., but if the mfg. is different, it isn't listed. I do know it has help my doggie greatly.

Since all MSM & DMSO supplements now are artificially synthesized organic (carbon-based) petrochemical plant/animal fossils, the best quality is OptiMSM distilled 99.99% pure USA/some high-standard Japan sourced. (100% pure is a scientifically impossible exaggeration.) Per Sherry's posting, this Now brand says it's only 99.7% pure. I bought 7 Lights stating "USA sourced 4x distilled 99.99% pure" like OptiMSM awaiting hearing back why doesn't say OptiMSM. Distilled MSM can be purchased in flakes, crystals, or powder. We like crystals easy to scoop into Amazon's PureCaps v. MSM bitter taste.

I purchased this for a relative. They feel that the product is beneficial. Relative has MS. As to the purity, I can't say.
